How to reproduce
I have a batch script that prints valid custom "profiles" that I created for my work. It took a lot of time to print the whole table. I can share with you an example.
`@echo off
setlocal
call colors.bat
ECHO.
printf "%IPurple%Valid Profiles are:%Full_Color_Reset%"
ECHO.
printf "-----------------------------------------------\n"
printf "| Profile | Proyect |\n"
printf "-----------------------------------------------\n"
printf "|LRD ------------> L. & R. Distributors, Inc |\n"
printf "|etrain ---------> Dematic's Etrain |\n"
printf "|ELI-LILLY-CON---> Elli Lilly Concord |\n"
printf "|Eli-Lilly-RTP --> Elli Lilly RTP |\n"
printf "|Eli-Lilly-IDAP -> Elli Lilly Indianapolis |\n"
printf "|ACE ------------> ACE Hardware |\n"
printf "|GRI ------------> Groupe Robert Inc. |\n"
printf "|loblaw ---------> Loblaw. |\n"
printf "|AMC ------------> Americold. |\n"
printf "|CE -------------> Cooper Electric. |\n"
printf "|CEMD -----------> Capital Electric MD. |\n"
printf "|NC -------------> North Coast. |\n"
printf "|HH -------------> Home Hardware. |\n"
printf "-----------------------------------------------\n"
ECHO.
printf "%IYellow%example:%Full_Color_Reset%"
ECHO.
rem // Store current code page in a variable for later restore (optional):
for /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%C in ('chcp') do set /A "$CP=%%C"
rem // Change code page to UTF-8 Unicode:
chcp 65001 > nul
printf "%IWhite%λ%Full_Color_Reset% switchCmderProfile GRI"
rem // Restore original code page (optional):
chcp %$CP% > nul
ECHO.
endlocal`

Checklist
- I have read the documentation.
- I have searched for similar issues and found none that describe my issue.
- I have reproduced the issue on the latest version of Cmder.
- I am certain my issues are not related to ConEmu, Clink, or other third-party tools that Cmder uses.
Whats wrong with echo
?
This is not a Cmder bug.
@jnambo printf
is some kind of external program.
The issue is either with printf
or maybe with ConEmu, but the issue is not related to Cmder.
Most likely one of the following has happened, and these are things you could investigate:
- Maybe there's been a change in the
printf
program. - Maybe an antivirus system is taking longer than usual to analyze whether
printf
is safe to run.
